Experiments with cathode rays led to the discovery of the electron.
electron particles were found with the help of using alpha particles on gold[1000 atoms thick]sheet by J.J.thomson. cathode ray tube produced those alpha particles.
J. J. Thompson identified catode rays as subatomic particles, specifically, electrons.
The electron.

The cathode ray is a stream of electrons.
J.J Thompson in 1897 demonstrated that cathode rays are composed of tiny, negatively charged subatomic particles called electrons.
they are material particles!
Cathode rays are negatively-charged particles.
J.J. Thomson (Sir Joseph John Thomson, 1856-1940), who demonstrated in 1897 that "cathode rays" consisted of negatively-charged particles, later named electrons.
homson conducted a series of experiments with cathode rays and cathode ray tubes leading him to the discovery of electrons and subatomic particles. Thomson used the cathode ray tube in three different experiments.
The cathode ray is a stream of electrons.
J.J Thompson in 1897 demonstrated that cathode rays are composed of tiny, negatively charged subatomic particles called electrons.
Cathode rays are attracted to the positive charge on the anode! They are repelled by the negative charge on the cathode.
somebody did something rite :POnly by experiments during long periods (exception are probable quarks and gluons proposed by a theory but not clearly identified by experiments).
Thomson discovered the electron and proved that it existed without ever being able to see or isolate one. Electrons were the first subatomic particles to be discovered, the first particle of matter identified that was smaller than an atom. This discovery also finally provided some physical proof of, and description of, the basic unit that carried electricity. Thomson attached thin metal plates inside his cathode ray tube to a battery and showed that an electrical field could also deflect cathode rays.
in a cathode ray tube the cathode rays move towards the anode(positively charged) fixed plate.
Alpha Rays are attracted to a negatively charged plate because they consist of positively charged particles.
The electron particles in cathode rays have a negative charge. So if a plate is positively charged, it would attract the cathode rays, and if it was negatively charged, it would repel the rays.
The electron particles in cathode rays have a negative charge. So if a plate is positively charged, it would attract the cathode rays, and if it was negatively charged, it would repel the rays.
Cathode rays are high speed electrons. So they are negatively charged.
In a cathode ray tube (CRT), the particles, which are electrons, originate at the heated cathode, becoming the so-called cathode rays. The electrons stream off the cathode and rush over to the anode.
